The attempted murder of #SalmanRusdhie #Rushdie deserves to be punished with all severity...
Rushdie & I had a meeting at Senate House London c 1974 when he was about 26, I 18/19. I’d done a good job as a reporter on the London Univ student paper “Sennet” (?) on a story about
the Greek military coup, or revolt or whatever, and the extreme leftist demos outside the Greek embassy.... I recall a formidable bunch of bulky bearded Macedonians (they made clear they were Macedonians not Greeks) came to the paper’s office to check on
what we were going to say about them as they were leaders of the leftist demo -- (these, incidentally, may have been the core of the Nov 17 terrorist group later!)...
I had to leave but the editor insisted I stay as Salman Rushdie (who’s he? I asked) was due in the office too

Sir Salman Rushdie liegt nach dem Mordanschlag auf ihn im Krankenhaus. Die Meldungen über seinen Zustand und die zu erwartenden Folgeschäden sind unterschiedlich. Die Reaktionen unserer "Oberen" auch.

1. Kanzler #Scholz und Außenministerin Baerbock schweigen. Kein Wunder,

ist doch aktuell der "Atom"-Deal mit #Iran noch immer in der Schwebe. Jedes Statement gibt sofort Ärger mit denen, die seit Jahrzehnten #Rushdie auf der Todesliste halten.

Unfortunately what was bound to happen happened today: 3 attacks against #France: #Nice, 3 killed in knife attack in a church, terrorist arrested; #Avignon, man shot dead after attacking police with knife; #Jeddah, #SaudiArabia citizen wounds guard in attack at #French consulate
#France: The attack in #Nice again targeted a church where the jihadist constantly yelling "Allahu Akbar" beheaded one woman & mortally stabbed to death two other people. The jihadist in a man in his twenties that speaks #French; that's all we know so far. bit.ly/3oBamH6
Thé jihadist behind the #nice attack at Notre-Dame church is a 21 year old Tunisian that arrived in #Europe through #Lampedusa, #italy at the end of September and made it to #France a few days ago. Once again the refugee issue is central to a jihadist attack on the continent.
